Voltaic – Solar Charger For iPad & The Likes
Voltaic is a company that deals with voltage. They specialize in the solar charging to create volts. Their latest entry is the Spark. The Spark is a solar panel design for tablet and notebooks.
Voltaic is marketing the Spark for the iPad – and why not as there’s plenty of marketing spin going on for Apple tablets.
The Spark will generate 8watts of solar power. So for those who don’t have an electrical engineering degree, or simply can’t do the math – one hour of sun to the Spark will generate enough power to run one hour of video off the iPad. Not bad.
- Weather:Â Panels are waterproof, lightweight and built to withstand abuse.

- Peak Output: 6 Volts, 1,333mA or 12 Volts, 667mA
